Hall of Fame
So there you have it. Utah State will tangle with Washington in the Las Vegas Bowl. Utah State fans are wondering if this will be the last year they see Marko Ramius on the sidelines as his contract expires at the end of the year, with no word yet, nor even a rumor, of a possible contract extension in the works.
Elsewhere, Southern Miss faces Temple in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl, Florida International and Arkansas State meet in the New Orleans Bowl, Arizona State takes on #9 Notre Dame in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, South Carolina meets #16 Indiana in the Gator Bowl, #12 West Virginia is relegated to the Cotton Bowl and a match-up with LSU due to an early season overtime loss to Big-12 Champion Baylor. A perfect season for #3 Louisiana-Lafayette gives them a Rose Bowl showdown with #10 UCLA, #17 New Mexico crashes the BCS party to face #5 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, #7 Army makes a BCS appearance in the Orange Bowl against #4 Virginia Tech and it's back to back title games for #2 Ohio State as they take on #1 Navy for the National Championship game.
And in terms of bowl numbers, the SEC has the most of any conference with 10 teams getting into a bowl game, followed closely by the Big Ten (9 teams) and the ACC (7 teams).
Looking through the standings, 69 teams made it bowl eligible with only 68 slots. One team got screwed this year.
And a look at who got screwed out of a bowl game this year:
MAC
- (6-7)
So there you go. Toledo ends up the only team to not get invited to a bowl game. Toledo was likely headed for a bowl with a 6-6 record before the MAC Championship Game, but a 26-14 to MAC Champion Ohio would leave Toledo with a 6-7 record and leave the Rockets sitting at home for the bowl season.
